Euro 2024 Group C Overview

England is the clear favorite in any Euro 24 Group C preview, and it would be surprising if the Three Lions don’t advance unbeaten. Serbia and Denmark should compete for the second spot, with either team having a chance to progress as one of the best four third-place finishers. Meanwhile, Slovenia is most likely to finish 4th and exit the tournament, but it can poison the plans for anyone in the group.

SER – ENG: H2H

Their only matchup was in 2003, with England celebrating a narrow victory. Both teams have not faced each other in any competitive or friendly match for more than 20 years.

Betting Preview: Latest Results and Roster Updates

Serbia National Football Team

After 24 years and five failed European Championship campaigns, Serbia returns to the tournament for the first time since 2000. Back then, their current coach, Dragan Stojkovic, played in all three group games, ending with a 6-1 quarter-final defeat to the Netherlands. Remarkably, six players in Serbia’s current squad weren’t even alive for their last Euros appearance.

Despite a disappointing group stage exit at the 2022 World Cup, Serbia finished second in its Euro qualifying group. The Eagles won four games and claimed 14 points from eight games during qualifying. They will be hungry to make their mark on this tournament.

The Serbian attack, featuring Mitrovic, Dusan Vlahovic, Dusan Tadic, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, offers hope for a strong performance.

England National Football Team

Time is running out for Gareth Southgate to deliver England’s first major title since 1966. The Three Lions fell short in the Euro 2020 final and exited the 2022 World Cup from the quarterfinal.

They qualified unbeaten from Group C ahead of Italy and Ukraine during the qualifiers and remain a favorite in this tournament. However, there are doubts about their title credentials after poor friendly performances heading to Germany. A strong start can help them rebuild confidence. Euro betting football odds place England among the favorites to win this competition.

Notable absences from the final squad include Jack Grealish, James Maddison, and Harry Maguire. Luke Shaw is also out for the opener, while Lewis Dunk may miss out due to injury.

Betting Predictions For Serbia vs England

Here are our Serbia vs England betting predictions:

England (-1 Handicap) @ 2.25 (5/4)

England will be out to make a statement in their opening game. While a recent 1-0 loss to Iceland raised eyebrows, this squad possesses undeniable talent and a hunger to prove themselves. Few teams can rival England’s attacking force at Euro 2024, with young stars like Saka, Foden, and Bellingham alongside the dependable Kane. England’s qualifying campaign was a breeze, winning six out of eight games, including two victories against the reigning Euro champs, Italy.

In contrast, Serbia has struggled, winning only two of its last six competitive matches. It didn’t have any European heavyweights in its qualification for Euro, but it still struggled against teams like Bulgaria and Hungary. We expect a heavy dominance for England, emerging victorious by at least a two-goal margin.

Both Teams To Score – Yes @ 2.00 (1/1)

England’s recent form reveals a leaky defense, failing to shut out opponents in four of their last five outings. Similarly, Serbia has seen goals at both ends in 20 of their last 25 competitive games. Having kept only five clean sheets in its previous 25 competitive matches, Serbia will likely need its offense to contribute significantly to secure a positive result. Given both teams’ recent defensive struggles and lower pressure for opening matchups, the possibility of a high-scoring match is on the cards.

Harry Kane To Score Anytime @ 2.10 (10/9)

Harry Kane, England’s all-time top scorer, will likely find the net in most games. Fresh off a stellar season at Bayern Munich with 44 goals in 44 matches, Kane led Europe’s big five leagues in goals (36) and total goal contributions (36 goals + 8 assists). He scored (6) or assisted (3) in seven of his last nine major tournament games for England. With support from Bellingham, Foden, Saka, and Palmer, Kane is a solid favorite to score against Serbia.
